Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Sai Ram Chandrakant , Shastry, Shyam ,Mina, Roshni and other Sai Brothers n Sisters, It was nice to hear from all of you. I wore a mail two days back and when i was about to send the server was down. So now I am writing again today. In this mail I wish to share some of my personal experiences with Sai Baba. My devotion to Sai Baba increased mainly in last two years. My father is an ardent devotee since eight years. My first visit to Puttaparthi was when the superspeciality hospital construction has begun. Later I visited twice. Initially I did not believe in Baba fully. I was a bit conservative and ignorant in my thinking. My belif till then was God should be poor to help all and how can He have so much wealth when there are so many people living in poverty? . That was my thinking. I had preconcieved thinking God should come as a poor man like Shiridi Sai, Ramakrishna paramhamsa etc. I neither used to completely believe nor did i think He is not God, He is doing so many good works for the humanity like schools and hospitals. That was my thinking. I used to attend sai Bhagans, and listen to some of thier experiences. Some of them used to tell they vitnessed a muracle like Vibhuthi cming from Babas Photo etc. To cut the long story short, my devotion began maily in last two years when I came to Australia. I was planning to do further studies and it was not sucessful oneway or other. Atlast I came to Australia nearly one and half years back for further studies. When I came here I also brought SaiBaba photo with me and used to worship along with other Gods photos. Here when I came life was not so smooth here. I was attending uni and was looking for Parttime work and was unable to find one. I asked some of my collegues but invein. Though my parentssupported me financially I felt a need to complenent some of my expenses. I used to stay alone in single room in a house with people from different nationalities. I was feeling lonely and maissing my family too. One night after uni, I came home and slept in my room I didnt switch off the light also. I was particularly feeling sick of all these things like leeling lonely, not getting job and work load from the uni. I prayed to Baba that I have heard so many people say they witnessed many miracles like Vibhuthi coming from photos , why its not occuring in our familly. I thought how nice it would be if some body calls me and offers me work, then I thought how will it be possible without applying for job. Thniking like that I went to sleep. In the middle of the night I got wake up , then I saw the photo of Saibaba. I found something change in the photo. I can see a small image of SaiBaba in the right hand corner of photo where there is gap. And this image appears as if looking inthe direction where i was sleeping. I went close to the photo and observed, yes it was Swamis Image in the photo with pink color as if someone painted. Its a bit hazy but i can definately identify the face of Baba. I felt very happy after seeing this photo and thought that Baba wants to show me that I am not alone and Baba is with me. Later I slept again and went to uni next day. When I met my friend Mr.Mouli next day he said that kiran you have to call xxxx, and there is a job for you. You have to go and attend interview. Then I thought that its definately Gods plan. The next day I went to this place its a supermarket, and the owner of this shop was from Srilanka. He was a nice man. I came to know that I was the only candidate for the interview. The owner took inside the staff room and asked me few questions about my studies , my family background etc. At last he asked me do you know Saibaba. I asked him is he refering to Shiridi Sai Baba or Satya Sai Baba, he said Sathya Sai Baba. I said yes I know Sathya Sai Baba and believe in Him. Then he said to come to training from next day for a week and then I can get job. I finished training and got the job.I worked in the same place till I finished my studies. Now I finished my studies and working full time in my own profession y Grace of Baba. I still have to give some licence exams and I believe that Baba will help me in my way. Now I believe in Baba wholeheartedly, I ofthen listen to Swamys discorses online at radiosai . I find them so refreshing to the mind. I took the photos on camera phone and I am attaching them here . See if you can identify some features of baba in the top right side corner. They have become a bit hazy. I believe now that if we believe in Him wholeheartedly them He will show us the path. It does not mean no difficulties, infact now I believe that difficulties also sometimes help to reach God. Now though I fell I miss my family I feel close to SaiBaba than when I was in India. I wish you all Sai brothers and sisters that Sai shall guide in the journey of life. Thank you for giving me opportunintiy to share my experiences with Sai. I also wish to hear some of experience with sai. I also wish to add my experiences in the website saibaba liks miracles page, any advice from you is appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 My dear brother Kiran., Your experience is showing swami knew what we need, please be in mind swami be with us all time. Our swami's grace is more than any thing. Swami taking different way to make our life close to him . I started my devotion from my childhood as a balvikas student. I am very much devoted with swami during that time by the guidence of my grandma. But in my tenage i start divert from swami's path ( that means i was done few thing that is against to sai's way of life), but swami came in the form of my cousin and again tied me to his close. No body could not thing what swami is doing. Again during my graduation i have started smoking & drinking. I got so many experience but i did n't realise it is swami. i will share that one Later One day I went to puttaparthy for Sevaduty and do you know what duty i had there ""being as security in the main gate i have to ask the devotees to give off cigarette"", I thought what i am doing asking devotees inside ashram to giveoff cigarette and i am using the same out side Asram. I prayed a lot by sitting in the mandir to our lord forgiving me and I decided to stop every thing that day, Later swami blessed me several time with padanamskar. Now i am living in swam's grace Please be in mind swami is seeing every thing that we are doing in any corner of this world and he is always giving us guidence at the same instant. Only thing we have to catch nad follow his instruction then he will take care of us.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Om Sai Ram !! Dear Sita, My little 'tip' - every day, when you wake up remember to say 'Thank you !' to the Lord for His Grace. For the Gift He has given you - the Day. Remember that it is the best He can give you, the best He HAS to give you. DONT ASK WHAT IT IS !!! JUST TAKE IT WITH GRATITUDE !! What ever it is, just say THANK YOU. Never say 'I dont like it'. Dont waste time asking questions - such as "Why did You give me this or that ?" Just say thank you. That is one way of expressing your faith in the Lord. Remembering that what you get is from Him. And it will benefit you..... Om Sai Ram !!
